A wraparound cover I’ve made for the german edition of “Stormglass: Tesla Threat” by the author Andy Deemer. It’s the second book of the Stormglass series and is about a mysterious machine build by Nikola Tesla.

A Formula One car and some components I’ve made for a “Die Zeit”-infographic. The illustrations show the 2015 version of the car and the parts that were changed or improved for this season.
The four components are: Hybrid engine, air intake, front wing and the multifunctional steering wheel. It took 9 days to build the models.

A quite complex 3D model of the Norwegian Getaway. I build it for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. I also had to cut several parts open to show the bridge, luxury cabins, normal cabins, crew cabins, restaurants, medical center, waste disposal and laundry. The rooms are not very accurate since there are very few technical information about the ship. But their position in the ship is correct.

An accurate 3D-Model of the Soviet space shuttle “Buran”. The model was created in cooperation with Vadim Lukashevich for the Buran.ru project.
The real Buran project was cancelled before the completion of the spacecraft. The only remains of the project are incomplete prototypes and mock-ups. My task for this 3D model was to create a completed and fully fitted version of the Buran shuttle, based on original plans.

A large map of the Frankfurt University. It shows the four main sites and the departments of the university. I made this for a special issue of Die Zeit.
I build the models mainly on basis of Google Maps and the aerial view of Bing Maps. The building are quite simple, mainly blocks. But I still needed two weeks put all together.

Two variations of a low energy house. The left one was made for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the right one for the Süddeutsche Zeitung some months later. The illustrations show how to improve the energy-efficiency of old buildings.

Some illustrations I’ve made for a special issue of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The issue was dedicated to Natural Gas.
The side view at the top is a part of an infographic about the differences between conventional gas production and fracking. The six low poly illustrations show several new technologies that are related to natural gas.

A large infographic for the Swiss newspaper “Schweiz am Sonntag”. The task was to illustrate some statistical data about the Swiss. For example the cities with the highest percentage of immigrants or the highest population density.

A dangerous bacterial culture for an article about multiresistant germs in hospitals in the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Bacterial cultures look normally quite boring. My task was to make it visually more dangerous and alive.

A series of illustrations for the german issue of the “New Scientist”. The topic was the search for giant energy absorbing space structures, which can indicate the presence of alien civilizations. The idea of these structures was originally developed by the physicist Freeman Dyson in the 60s. The first row shows two variations of his Dyson Spheres, a swarm of planet-sized solar collectors and a ringworld. The bottom row illustrates other possible structures, a giant monolith and a solar sail.
